eForms News

The eForms website has been significantly redesigned and its underlying technology is now Next & React. This change will not only allow us greater flexibility when adding new features but it should also make this website much more enjoyable for you to look at.

All rates and constants have been updated for the 2023 taxation year.

Data may be rolled forward from 2022 AvanTax eForms.

All Forms printing / XML output is in 2022 format, but may be used for filing 2023 returns.

We have improved the AvanTax eForms email slips function. AvanTax eForms Standard and Enterprise can email slips to recipients. We have changed the interface to allow users to enter formatted text in the body of the message sent to the recipient. Instead of a text-only interface, users can now apply formatting such as bold, italic, underline, font and font size, text colour and inserting images to the message.

We now have a stand alone tool which will allow users to do a pre-import validation check on your spreadsheets before you attempt to do the import. This should improve time efficiency as it will catch most errors before you try the import. The validation program is in English only at the present time. See our website for details.

All forms and XML output have been updated to the 2022 versions.

All Revenu Québec forms have been updated to the new monochrome format.

Training videos have been updated and expanded to cover all major eForms features.
